Why You’ll Love This Corn Pudding Recipe

Traditionally made with cornmeal and whole milk, this recipe elevates the classic by using Jiffy Mix, the convenience staple that transforms refrigerated corn batter into a pudding marvel in minutes.

Plus, using Jiffy Mix simplifies cooking with pre-measured ingredients and clear instructions—ideal for beginners and seasoned cooks alike.
What You’ll Need
Key Insights
- 1 container Jiffy Corn Pudding Mix (6-12 servings, depending on package)
- 2 cups whole milk (or reduced-fat for a lighter version)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, whipped topping, fresh corn kernels, brown sugar drizzle, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
Step-by-Step Ultimate Corn Pudding Instructions
-
Preheat & Prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or individual ramekins with butter or nonstick spray. -

In a large bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Pudding Mix with the melted butter. Stir in the milk and vanilla until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and mix well—no lumps guaranteed!
Final Thoughts
-
Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared dish. For even rising, cover with foil and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center gels slightly when gently shaken. Sprinkle melted butter across the top for a glossy finish. -
Cool & Serve
Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Top with your favorite whipped cream, fresh corn, or a dusting of cinnamon for extra depth.
Why This Recipe Stands Out
- Symmetrically Simple: Just mix, pour, bake, and serve—no chopping, stirring, or measuring weird amounts.
- Versatile & Adaptable: Swap the milk for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version, or add zests (lemon or lime) for a bright twist.
- Time-Saving: With Jiffy Mix, prep time is under 5 minutes—perfect for spontaneous baking.
- Impressive Texture: The result is velvety, custard-like, and richer than traditional corn puddings you’ve ever tried.
Pairing Ideas to Elevate the Experience
- Serve alongside crispy pancakes or buttermilk waffles for a hearty breakfast.
- Top with a drizzle of caramel and fresh berries for a unique dessert.
- Pair with a cold glass of buttermilk soda or iced tea to cut the sweetness.
